    Likewise, if you live in a place where nobody dies before they reach their life expectancy, waiting might be a good idea.

      Life expectancy is the age most people live to. Some live less, some live more. You shouldn’t make plans heavily counting on one of those exceptions. Don’t hurry up to do things just in case you’re one of the ones who live less, don’t delay things too long because you might live to 120.

      Planning for living 30 years only makes sense in a place where most people don’t live over that.
